Have you by chance read “The Woman Chaser” by Charles Willeford? You brought it to mind for me in two ways. First because I admire the way he handles time and transitions in the story. And second because near the end, the main character gets into a violent struggle about how long his movie should run. The producers have proposed dismembering his work in two different ways, either expanding it into a meaningless television series and discarding the movie distribution, or cutting the movie so severely as to demolish the story.
Dear Billionaire Psycho (BP), I have been binge reading all your articles since I found the link to Pygmalion and the Anime Girl in The American Sun, which I have been reading since 2019.
I appreciate your articles about storytelling since I want to make my own stories as well in visual formats about adult protagonists, globe-trotting adventures and bloody fights (things that appeal to men since time immemorial).
That being said having characters from different parts of our world is a sensible topic as I hesitate to consider some groups that I am biased against, especially concerning groups that I don't have positive views such as Africans, Arabs, South Asians and the Chinese. I have worries whether making a character of any of these 4 as benevolent will make the story as subversive as Big Hollywood productions are since the evidence against them is high.
I will keep in touch with your future articles nevertheless.
Excellent piece!
